Reposted from Hupu on February 17th. Recently, Argentine international and Atletico Madrid defender Molina was interviewed by the Argentine media "Infobae". During the interview, he also talked about many topics and situations about himself.
(The following is an excerpt from the interview) How is your relationship with your Argentine teammates at Atletico Madrid?

We got along very well and the atmosphere was very joyful. On the pitch, we had a great time together and formed a great team. There was a great relationship between Alvarez, De Paul, Correa, Giuliano Simeone and the Uruguayan Jiménez who always played with us.

Outside of training, we always get together and joke around, which was also the case when we were at Udinese, where there were also many Argentine teammates. Now at Atletico Madrid, life has become more relaxed and comfortable.

A few days ago, a video went viral where a boy in a Boca jersey asked you for an Atletico jersey and you gave him the fan, and the boy got emotional and started crying. It was a very good gesture, and you can make a kid like that happy, are you aware of these things?

I would say not at the moment. I had said hello to the boy before. Then, when I was leaving the pitch that day, he asked for my jersey. But at that time you are still caught up in the adrenaline of the game and there are many other things in your mind. I gave him the jersey though, the truth is I always give everything. I kept some things to myself but I didn't realise it at the time, I did realise it later when I saw it (the video). People can be very happy so I realised it much later in the day.

How has being a World Cup champion and winning two Copa Americas affected you? Does it make your life easier? Because there are very few players who can do all that.

Personally, I don't feel the pressure of having to win everything. I want to keep winning, keep improving and hopefully win more with my club. As with the good memories of the national team, every time I return to Argentina it's like a big party, with tickets always sold out in an instant and stadiums packed.

The atmosphere was crazy, but I always wanted to win. I wanted to win more with the club, which is a very important club, and I wanted to make more breakthroughs on a personal level. If I was satisfied with the status quo, I might lose the motivation to move forward.

About your family's support
soccer jersey Football uniforms football socks Football training kit referee training wear
I am very grateful for the support of my family. When I was 11 years old, I left my hometown and went to Buenos Aires, where I lived in the club's dormitory. At that time, there were no convenient communication tools like today, and I could only call home once a night.

Imagine if you missed a game at the weekend and had to pack your bags and be ready to go home at any time, it would be really painful. However, I always found strength from the encouragement of my parents, siblings and friends.

Do you remember the first call you got to play for the national team? Do you remember that moment? Where were you ?

I was watching TV and relaxing with my girlfriend at Udinese, it was a normal afternoon after training, when I got a call from De Paul and Pereira. They had been selected for the World Cup qualifiers, and it felt a bit strange that they were calling me.

It was 6pm and they jokingly said to me, “You knew this a long time ago, why didn’t you tell us?” I said, “De Paul, what are you talking about? I had no idea.” Then they said, “Oh, you’ve been selected for the national team.” Although I had had contact with the national team before, I’m not sure if they told De Paul in advance or if they got the list from the club.

There are very few players in the world who have won so much with their national team. How do you get used to this?
I know it's not normal. I speak for myself, but I think some of us also don't know what we are going through and still feel this way because we are all hungry to keep winning and besides it being a friendly, it's best to be in the national team.

Do you remember your first time with the national team and what it was like the first time you saw Messi there?
soccer jersey Football uniforms football socks Football training kit referee training wear
I was lucky because DePaul had participated in several national team training camps before, and even participated in the America's Cup. He always gave me advice: "We should do this, don't do that." I would also ask him some questions and get some information. So I was mentally prepared.

The first time I met Messi was during the pandemic. We were gathered together in a restaurant, preparing to undergo COVID-19 testing so that we could gather at the Argentine training base. I said hello to Messi, and that was our first meeting.

What do you think about Cristiano Ronaldo claiming to be the best player in history?
soccer jersey Football uniforms football socks Football training kit referee training wear
I have watched Messi's games since I was a child. I admire not only his football skills, but also his personality. I am lucky to work with him. For me, you can't call yourself the best. It should be judged by others. (Para mí vos no podés decir que sos el mejor, lo tienen que decir los demás.)
soccer jersey Football uniforms football socks Football training kit referee training wear
I will never think that I am the best, even though I am confident that I am good, but I will never say that. There is no doubt that Ronaldo is an unparalleled player and extremely competitive. But whether he is the best player in history should be judged by others.

Is Messi the best player in history?
soccer jersey Football uniforms football socks Football training kit referee training wear
For me, yes.

On Simeone and Scaloni's styles
soccer jersey Football uniforms football socks Football training kit referee training wear
Simeone and Scaloni are both very strict. However, we spend different time with them. Under Scaloni, we play from Friday to Sunday (international team match day), so we have to arrange the intensity of training properly to be in the best condition for the World Cup qualifiers. Therefore, we may combine several training sessions into one recovery session.
